Paper solves local well-posedness for Schrödinger flow into sphere with natural boundary conditions.

The commuting vector fields approach, devised for strichartz estimates in [13], was developed for proving the local well-posedness in the Sobolev spaces $H^s$ with $s>2+\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2}$ for general quasi-linear wave equation in ${\mathbb R}^{1+3}$ by Klainerman and Rodnianski. Via this approach they obtained the l…

This paper establish the local (or global, resp.) well-posedness of the heat flow of biharmonic maps from $R^n$ to a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary with small local BMO (or BMO, resp.) norms.

We establish both local and global well-posedness for the heat flow of polyharmonic maps from $R^n$ to a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary for initial data with small BMO norms.

(Working Paper) Using a purely probabilistic argument, we prove the global well-posedness of multidimensional superquadratic backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) without Markovian assumption. The key technique is the interplay between the local well-posedness of fully coupled path-dependent forward backwa…

Proves well-posedness for Einstein equations with specific boundary data.

We study the question of well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for Schrödinger maps from $\rone \times \rtwo$ to the sphere $\stwo$ or to ${\mathbb H^2}$, the hyperbolic space. The idea is to choose an appropriate gauge change so that the derivatives of the map will satisfy a certain nonlinear Schrödinger system of equa…

We consider the Dirac operator on globally hyperbolic manifolds with timelike boundary and show well-posedness of the Cauchy initial-boundary value problem coupled to MIT-boundary conditions. This is achieved by transforming the problem locally into a symmetric positive hyperbolic system, proving existence and uniquene…

This paper includes a proof of well-posedness of an initial-boundary value problem involving a system of degenerate non-local parabolic PDE which naturally arises in the study of derivative pricing in a generalized market model. In a semi-Markov modulated GBM model the locally risk minimizing price function satisfies a…

In this article we study the class of right-invariant, fractional order Sobolev-type metrics on groups of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold M.

Proof of local well-posedness for a specific boundary condition in general relativity.

We study a geometric flow where the motion of a set is driven by the mean curvature of its boundary and the normal derivative of its capacity potential. We establish local well-posedness and propose two possible weak formulations that exist after singularities.

Combines geometric hydrodynamics with magnetic systems to derive new equations and prove well-posedness.

We analyse the definition of quasi-local energy in GR based on a Hamiltonian analysis of the Einstein-Hilbert action initiated by Brown-York. The role of the constraint equations, in particular the Hamiltonian constraint on the timelike boundary, neglected in previous studies, is emphasized here. We argue that a consis…

Given a compact manifold $M$ and a Riemannian manifold $N$ of bounded geometry, we consider the manifold ${\rm Imm} (M,N)$ of immersions from $M$ to $N$ and its subset ${\rm Imm}_μ(M,N)$ of those immersions with the property that the volume-form of the pull-back metric equals $μ$. We first show that the non-minimal ele…

Study on well-posedness of vacuum Einstein equations with specific boundary conditions.

The subject of this article is the introduction of a new concept of well-posedness of Bayesian inverse problems. The conventional concept of (Lipschitz, Hellinger) well-posedness in [Stuart 2010, Acta Numerica 19, pp. 451-559] is difficult to verify in practice and may be inappropriate in some contexts. Our concept sim…

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of boundary value problems for a special class of degenerate elliptic equations coming from geometry. Such problems is intimately tied to rigidity problem arising in infinitesimal isometric deformation, The characteristic form of this class of equations is changing its signs i…

The classical local well-posedness result for the compressible Euler equations in $3$-D holds f…

We establish the global well-posedness of the initial value problem for the Schrodinger map flow for maps from the real line into Kahler manifolds and for maps from the circle into Riemann surfaces. This partially resolves a conjecture of W.-Y. Ding.

Many models in mathematical physics are given as non-linear partial differential equation of hydrodynamic type; the incompressible Euler, KdV, and Camassa--Holm equations are well-studied examples.A beautiful approach to well-posedness is to go from the Eulerian to a Lagrangian description.Geometrically it corresponds …

In this paper, we consider very rough solutions to Cauchy problem for the Einstein vacuum equations in CMC spacial harmonic gauge, and obtain the local well-posedness result in $H^s, s>2$. The novelty of our approach lies in that, without resorting to the standard paradifferential regularization over the rough, Einstei…

Gradient flow of curve length on Sobolev metrics preserves convexity.

We show for a certain class of operators $A$ and holomorphic functions $f$ that the functional calculus $A\mapsto f(A)$ is holomorphic. Using this result we are able to prove that fractional Laplacians $(1+Δ^g)^p$ depend real analytically on the metric $g$ in suitable Sobolev topologies. As an application we obtain loc…

We study the regularity of the solutions of second order boundary value problems on manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry. We first show that the regularity property of a given boundary value problem $(P, C)$ is equivalent to the uniform regularity of the natural family $(P_x, C_x)$ of associated boundary value …
